(From the Moline Review, December 30.) Adam S. Horn was burned to death Tuesday morning, December 27, 1904, in a fire that consumed the Miller & Frye meat market .:.. Mr. Horn had been employed in the meat market only about 3 weeks, coming here from Peru .... For a number of years he had worked at his trade for Wm. Dory, of Grenola, but for two or three years had been in Chautauque county. On the night before the fatal fire he had been up with friends until about an hour before the fire was discovered when he had retired to his room on the upper floor of the building never to appear again. His charred remains were found in the ashes - as pathetic appeal to human sympathy. The fire seems to have originated, but no one knows how, in the rooms occupied by Chas. Kalber and family, who were absent from home at the time .... was the son of Peter Horn, a man of 62 years and of German decent. His home is at Soldier, Jackson county. A respectable number attended at the Moline cemetery ....
